Tirupati Food Industries

You can find Tirupati Food Industries at B-17 in the Lawrence Road Industrial Area. This whole neighborhood is dedicated to factories and warehouses, so there is always a lot of smoke and noise in the air. We handle food processing here, mostly dealing with grains and pulses. The warehouse is a big open space filled with stacks of sacks that reach almost to the ceiling. It stays cool in there, which is a relief when the sun is beating down on the metal roof. We spend our days monitoring the cleaning machines and making sure the quality is what it should be. The Lawrence Road area is quite old, and the roads have a lot of potholes, especially after the monsoon rains. We have a small crew of workers who handle the loading and unloading. It’s hard work and everyone is usually covered in dust by the end of the day. Our office is just a small partitioned area near the main entrance where we keep the ledgers and the weighing scales. We don’t have a website that we update often, so people just call us or show up if they want to buy in bulk. It’s a straightforward business without any of the corporate fluff you see in the city center. We eat lunch together in the small shed out back when it's not too hot. It is just about getting the food processed and out to the markets every day. We've been here for years.
